A Few Questions

Hello Family.
Got a few questions to ask. I have looked on google but can't

seem to find where to buy a new Engine Cover Gaskat (seal)?

Anybody know where to look? or should I just call BRP.

I ordered a new radiator from BCS with the larger fan and what

not. What Anti-Freeze do you recommend with it? (I know there

are threads, but as time go's by, so do products) I was looking at

that Engine Ice.

AND last but not least, oil...

I keep seeing on websites people don't like using Full Synthetic Oil

for there quad? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that was

the BEST to use.... What do you prefer?

When you search google looking for parts just type in Can Am OEM and it will bring up a number of sites where you can order parts from, Can Am Parts Store :: Can AM OEM Parts :: Can Am ATV & SSV Online Store, this is one I have used it may be a little more expensive but they have everything. If you ordered stuff from BCS and it hasnt shipped yet call them I'm sure they have that gasket and can send it with your other stuff. As for coolant Engine Ice or Water Wetter will work fine, and If you never want to boil coolant at all go with Evan NPG-R it boils at 400 degrees at 5 psi, so you should technically never have to add more coolant.
For oil we use rotella t 15w-40 diesel oil, it works just as good as any oil and you can buy it by the gallon at walmart for 13 bucks, but really any motorcyle oil will do.

If your looking for anti-freeze, use Engine Ice. Water Wetter is NOT anti-freeze. Just make sure you flush your coolant system well. Regular coolant & Engine Ice dont mix well.
